    With your help, I am going to try to keep this diary as interactive as possible and I invite any questions (doesn't have to be poker) and will respond to all posts. Current Bankroll £11.93 + £0.93 from a few turbo sngs (60p ish each) lolaments. Lambert would be proud! :)

    I'm sure you can get there.  Just need a bit of extra discipline.  Make sure you can still come to SPTs tho!

    TBF to Greg, he was doing really well in the diet comp and I am sure he would have carried on with the weight loss had it not been for me effectively pulling out and making it harder for him to be kept motivated 

    Gl Gregory, hope you achieve your goal mate!

    Good luck m8

    Like others have said, I'd jsut give yourself a bit bigger stanrting figure and miss out those 20% rake DYM's... Start at 3.30 or £5 or something, it will jsut get boring far too early otherwise... If you have a big edge you will be surprised how much you can actually make on them.

    Hi Greg.

    The best of luck with your challange!!! I'm sure you can do it!!!

    As for Brazil - it is absolutely fantastic country. I'm sure you will love it there. My wife is Brazilian and I have been there 5 times now. We even had our wedding there 4 months ago :) The food is fantastic, beer always cold, great culture and very friendly people everywhere!! 

    We are seriously thinking of moving to Brazil in the near future. We will see how it goes. That's why I'm not playing that often over here lately as wouldn't be able to play on Sky there, so I'm grinding my roll on stars in hypers HUSNG now which is going quite ok so far :)

    Anyway, best of luck to you and will definitelly follow your progress. 

    If you will have any questions about Brazil just ask :)

    nice motivation and good to see your planning on going wether england make it or not. question. if you have the £50 available to you why havent you just started from there instead of at £11
    Posted by TINTIN
    To Tintin... the micro cash grinding king (we might cross paths soon ish lol)

    I just had £11 left in my account following recent downswing issues and have decided not to deposit unless i have to. It's a good way of remembering the basics and a good grounding in dicipline and patience.

    Dohhhhhhh, it's not wasting time, it's punishment for me playing like a plonker the last few months.

    Very best of luck Hoggers! Are you going to use SKY BET? My friend has done a similar challenge on the last three Euro and World Cups. Every time he cashed over £50 he put £10 on Germany or Spain to win. Although the best result would have been England Winning. Three tournaments in a row he's been able to take his family on a mega holiday with his winnings! 2 years betting on Spain at 5/1 left him with a great holiday and very inflated bankroll. This year he's betting on Brazil 3/1 Spain 5/1 and Mexico 40/1 and has over £200 placed already £120 on Brazil £60 on Spain and £40 on Mexico He started with £100 bankroll and has about £1200 now

    Hi Mr Sweep, thanks alot mate. Good question and WOW at your friend's achievements! Unfortunately, following Dohhhhhhh's tips, which ALWAYS lose, without fail!, together with me being useless at football betting, means i probably wont. I gave up the horses months ago. Also there's no danger of sky vegas or bingo as im self excluded. This is purely a poker challenge! 

    I do like a cheeky bet on reality tv tho! I have a feeling that Ashley will be queen of the jungle and that Chris Maloney will win x factor.

    In Response to Re: Keeping it simple- Road to Brazil 2014. : I was thinking of supporting Brazil if England are not there. Have always wanted to go to Brazil and seeing Michael Palin's documentary has inspired me. I do not look Chinese, fat maybe, but not Chinese You are right about my money management it is dreadful. lost count of the amount of bankrolls i have built and destroyed on Sky in the past 5 years. This is why this challenge is gonna be particularly tough 
    Posted by GREGHOGG
    I watched Carl Pilkingtons and wouldn,t be that fussed about going.

    Have you looked into prices and do you have a specific target that will aloow you to do this

    Whatever happens GL with it and i,m sure your diary will be an intereting one

    Cheers Keith... I think... :) 

    Dylan is not the reason the diet plan didn't work out. The reason is that I was lazy, but both Dylan and I had a promising start. The diet will restart again in the new year for me, i cant speak for chubbers from Wales... Got some pressure from colleagues at work to do this with them, so i will include fat updates next year!

    Lol cheers m8.. You know i have heard this gag at least errr 52 times in the past week from bragging gooners. The thing is... we have a new up and coming manager, not a tired past-it triangular faced one, and had only 10 men for the vast majority of the game, albeit due to Adebayor's stupidity!

    I dont mind a bit of football banter on this thread

    Many thanks Mariuz.. Brazil and South America in general has always been the place i wanted to go to and thought with the World Cup going there it would be a perfect opportunity! 

    What ROI are you achieving at the HU Hypers.... ? I cant beat these on sky so these will be omited from my challenge. Can u PM me your stars alius please, if you dont mind? cheers.

    fair enough reason.

    personally i would top up to the £50 sooner rather than later. a few days of 60p dym or whatever, might be enough punishment lol. it would allow you to game select a bit more and and multi table a bit more freely.

    no doubt our paths will cross if youplan on including cash in your challenge. best of luck

    Hoggers this is an immense challenge, gl! I cant believe youve had a downswing, you've been cashing here there and everywhere this year. I take it you cant lend me a tenner anymore!

    Do you think you overdosed on the poker and lost that edge that is the diff between crushing and eating the track?
